Darren, I have been watching your wonderful videos for years. Because of your videos, I was able to fix my dad's snowblower that was surging badly. So I wanted to say thank you.
I'm sure Darren would be grateful to hear you managed to fix the problem with what you've learned from these videos it stories like your that keep people like Darren motivated. Thanks for sharing
Good morning Mustie fans. Have a wonderful week ahead. Thank you for keeping us entertained as always Darren - and Merry Christmas. Love from Ontario, Canada.
In a lot of ways, this is not only a restoration channel, but a history channel on top of that. I've seen and learned a lot about brands, designs, and concepts I probably never would have gleaned from anywhere else.
Ive been doing small engine repair for years and learn something new every time I watch your videos. I haven't purchased a snow thrower, mower, weed whip, in over 20 years, i pick them from the garbage all the time.😊 Thanks Darren!
Hi D. What a beast!! Awesome call on the crank seal. I cut timber for years. We had a couple of Homelite saws that were really dependable but would really kick your boo-boo using them since they were so heavy. Another great addition to your arsenal of tools. Thanks again for bringing us along!!!😊😊😊😊 Darren
super impressed you could tell the crank seal was bad from adjusting the carb (which was also bad), I love seeing good troubleshooting (even if it was an educated guess). I also have never seen a crank seal go bad and how to troubleshoot it. Seems like the original owner had no clue what was wrong and tried to fix the air seal when the issues started happening.
I've been watching Mustie1 for years and this was the first (1st) time I watched him use the little rope trick. We learn something new every day. This guy is surly very talented. Thank you Darren for the years of waiting in anticipation and great viewing. Stay safe and enjoy. (Ireland)
Years ago I used to help restore heritage railway locomotives. We'd been invited to a local locomotive manufacturer who were converting a set of old 1960s locos to more modern ones (for anyone who knows/is interested, we were in the Brush Falcon Works when they were converting class 47s to class 57s) as lots of the old parts were useless to them but great for our Class 47. One thing we really wanted was the headcode box mechanism out of the cab front of one of the soon to be converted locos, which had been plated over in the 1970s. A couple of us were attacking the front with little mains angle grinders but it was taking ages because of all the structural cab supports we couldn't see from the outside. One of our volunteers worked as an electrical linesman and said he'd got something in his van that would be quicker. He came back into the factory with something very similar to Mustie's new toy and proceeded to slice the front of the locomotive cab off like it was butter, but with screaming loud noise and a giant shower of sparks. When he was done we had our headcode box... and we'd reduced productivity in the factory because all the workers and managers came over to see what the heck these weirdo preservationists were doing. 🙂
The Homelite XL-98 concrete saw was manufactured in the late 1970s or early 1980s. It is based on the 77/82cc SXL-925 chainsaw and shares parts with the Homelite XL-925
When musty first pulled it out of the box!!!!!!!!!!!!What came to mine was back in the late 70s early 80s I had a Homelite chainsaw a 360 with a 16 inch bar same powerhead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it looked like they might’ve use for the demo saw……… great piece of history all packaged up all ready to go PPE amazing glad to see you got it running Samuel bacon
Thanks Darren for such a long video. I,v seen everyone you've put out,and I could watch you all day. I,ve learned so much! Stay healthy and happy !!!!!!!
Great video! I love the old Homelite saws and, based on other comments here, you can see the relation to late 70’s chainsaws. They were tough as nails and highly reliable.
Great save. The vacuum pump will work once you undo the threaded connections and wrap all the threads with pipe / Teflon tape. I did this on a HF compressor and cut my leakage (stop it) /recycle time by 80%! Narragansett Bay
Wow, Great win. Thanks for all the explanations, it really helps understand whats going on. The paper discs look very similar to the paper shims used on my table saw dado set.
"Raspy". I think that was the word you were looking for to describe the sound of the engine when it is running just rich enough to not burn a hole in the piston. 🙂🤩✌👍
I love how you think out every process and get things running. I have never missed any of your videos. Keep up the awesome work. I look forward to your videos every week. Thank you, Jeffrey D
Hey Mustie1 I just made a new google account and I'm resubbing to my favorite youtube channels. you are definitely one of my treasured favorites. I've made a lot of money selling small engine equipment thanks to your teachings and entertainment :D
I was slightly behind on seeing this one, lots of knowledge learned here. On the rubber seal, at my powder coating company we use little cone shaped rubber plugs, lots of different sizes and there is usually hundreds of those swiped up each day. They are cheap. always fun to watch your videos, thanks
I have the same saw. Been using it for 10 years. Also bought used, rebuilt the carb. I have cut concrete with it, and its very useful at the junk yard for cutting quarter sections of a vehicle out. No dead batteries, and no generator to roll into the junk yard.
Hey Darren, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your content . And lately we've even been getting little treats of some short videos in the middle of the week - what's THAT all about LOL 🤪🤪🤪!!! But anyway, truly appreciate all your hard work producing and starring in them all. I still get the biggest kick out of your on screen persona as you talk to the camera as if it's your silent assistant keeping secrets from you, too funny. Anyway, I don't comment all that much but want to wish you and yours a happy and healthy Holiday Season, Keep the good stuff coming brother.
Hey Mustie, Great perseverance on chasing the issues with the Demo saw. I watch all your video's and love the way you present the content. Well done!! Kind regards from Australia.
it's actually better just to buy the piston stop tool to begin with. You can possibly jam or damage the cylinder if the rope isn't put in correctly and using a dirty old rope is just bad practice..
I did construction in the Navy (Seabees) and we used to call this either a rescue saw or a “death wheel.” You can cut just about anything with the right setup…. Concrete & asphalt for trenches, masonry blocks, and (my favorite) demolition of old structures…. They’re a lot of fun once you get ripping. Always love tuning in to see what you brought us… wish I lived closer, I’d love to turn a wrench with Uncle Mustie someday.
If it was me , all the pieces would be tossed into that nice box and I would trip over it for 5 years until I gave it away : ) I love how you just don't quit !
Urgent please read this. Put the blade back the way it was before bad things happen like shortening a leg or something because when your putting power to it it's going to spin the bolt out and blade will come flying out of there with a vengeance. Check your shaft rotation to the direction the bolt tightens. The shaft should always be trying to tighten the bolt just like on grinders. Stay safe.
Great content. Back in the 80s my grandfather had a small garage fire. Our local volunteer fire department showed up with one of these saws they had just purchased. They promptly cut dozens of holes all over his garage while he begged them to stop. The fire was already out but they kept sawing until he threatened them with a shovel lol.
Good video, I learned in school to use Seal All on those welch plugs and also will repair a leaking float as that is one of the only things impervious to gasoline.
Kudos on the repairs. It definitely helps me to recognize what to look for in the issues you were experiencing. I had the chainsaw version of what you have but it fell from cutting a tree and broke the block where the handle attached. Toast!! Thanks for your continued wrenching.
Permatex anabolic gasket maker works great on crank seals,it hardens up solid and will hold in seals no problem.have a 1980 homelite super automatic xl chain saw,and the power head is almost identical.
Nice fix mustie1 I was watching the show Chickanic one time and she said when you put your two cycle machine away and it has a primer bulb, run the gas dry and then pump oil into the carburetor to keep the rubber seal diaphragm flexible. I did that with my 15 year old 440 Husqvarna. We had wet snow in New Mexico came through in March and broke branches everywhere on the pinyon pine and Juniper trees. I flushed the gas mix in my chain saw to get the oil out. Put new gas mix in and it started on the second pull. I now do that with all my two cycle engines.
Sunday Mustie Sunday. It’s a U2 song. Look it up 🙂 I wonder how many of these saws wound up in the land fill because of the crappy crank seals/ bad carb. Mustie to the rescue. I learn so much from this guy. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Darren, Most of these disc cutters have rev limiters built into the ignition coil (it cuts the spark off) usually about 9700 - 10,000rpm approximately this prevents the engine from over speeding the cutting disc and shattering / bursting the cutting disc (a built in safety feature) When the engine reaches maximum set revs it will sound not clean due to this feature kind of breaking up on the top end. The engine speed is 9,800 - 10,000 rpm and the 2:1 ratio gives a blade speed of 4,850 - 5,000 approximately, Another great fix Darren well done rescuing this little gem regards, Mitch from Mendasaw Ltd. From the UK.
Your just showing off,that thing is bloody quick, glad you showed us about the shaft seal 😂😅 never really thought about that when I was working on two stroke 😂😮 thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Man what a nice find, all that original stuff in the box, like the goggles in the box! Good video production, kept me entertained. Those carbies ( chainsaws etc) have such a small hole in the pilot side it gets blocked and there is nothing small enough to poke in there, but an ultra sonic cleaner works really good for that purpose. Great job, love your work from AUS.
I was taught to use the rope trick to change the valve seals in my 1973 340 Plymouth duster by my dad a very long time ago.back when I graduated high school in 83 I'm 60 now an still own the car.i always thought it was better than using air to pressure the cylinder.
Patients and perseverance. I'll have to watch the video again to see how many times he removed/replaced that carburetor. It was a struggle but the best man won! Good work Mustie1
The actual container/box and the font of the lettering are indicative of its age. I’d guess late 70s/Early 80s. The fact that it was in the box is really cool, those become lost or destroyed most times. Good eye on this one!
Good episode as always. I could tell the crank seal was bad from the first time it ran, glad you found it. When they go wa-wa-wa-wa instead of ding-ding-ding-ding (if that makes any sense) its a dead giveaway. Thanks for letting us participate in your diagnosis.
Just a tidbit of information in case you hadn't heard the term. The filter on the end of the gas line in the tank, in model airplane circles, is called the "Clunk". Because it's free to crash around inside the tank as the orientation of the engine changes, as happens all of the time in a model airplane, the heavy 'clunk' always finds the fuel in the tank.
clunks are used in alot of outdoor power tools. Im too lazy to drive an hour to nearest HobbyTown to get clunks for my Losi MTXL 2 stroke so I just get clunks for STIHL string trimmers from local shop. the 29cc 2 stroke doesnt notice the difference
@@harveylong5878 Being a farm kid, when the tractor gas line can't find the fuel that's the least of it's problems. The term "Clunk" just seemed so perfect that I chuckled the first time that I heard it.
A great video as always. I picked up a non-running TRS 21 green JD snow blower & brought it back to life. Just make sure the carb gasket has a good seal. The motor almost ran away & nearly grenaded 🍍. Like the fella from South Main Auto says. If I can do it you can do it. USAF 81-85.
Used to love these when I raced what we call BANGER RACING, in the UK, similar to demo derby but run on oval tracks of a quarter mile, of tarmac or hard packed "shale" we called them paddy saws, a joke for Irish folks but like everything else you can buy battery powered tools that do the same job. we used one for cutting away damaged bodywork on the saloon (sedan) cars we raced where contact was allowed no matter how hard you hit the other guys. loved that racing until the £££££s caught up with me after 14 happy years with many trophy's won.. thanks Darren.
Mustie1, once again with ur Engineering work, u finally gotten the Demolition Saw working great. it sure did a job on the 2x2 have a couple of beers on me Mate..
Haven't watched through the whole vid or scanned the comments, but little no reaction on idle circuit is a usuall sign of bad crank seals. I will see your findings when as I continue through the vid. Thanks for sharing!
That's a Super XL chain saw in drag. They are virtually impossible to kill. I cut SO much wood with one. I rebuilt one on the feed table of a chipper with sockets and a screwdriver. So simple and reliable. BUT, they vibrate like crazy.
The tillotsen carb is fussy. You can tune them to run great wide open, but then they wont idle. You can tune them to idle and cut small stuff but it wont have the power at full throttle. I used to have two on the truck when I did tree work. One for limbing and one for cutting the butt.
have wonderful chrismas to you and your family , over the years i have saved o lot of cash watching and learning , look forward you doing ride on mowers again i have missed them , YOU NEVER STOP LEARNING , CAN GIVE I MERRY CHRISMAS TO ALL YOUR VIEWER , BIG ASK COULD YOU WISH " STEVE T " IN THE UK A THANKS FOR SUPPORTING YOUR CHANNEL HE HAS NEVER MISSED 1 VIDEO SINCE YOU STARTED , IN YOUR NEXT VIDEO PLEASE
When I was in the fire service, we had a Homelite saw like this. The blade had carbide tips. It was used to cut ventilation holes in roofs to allow heat and smoke out of the building during a fire. This saw would cut thru anything, wood, nails, roofing and gang plates on trusses.
Excellent Video Mustie 1 :) also remember Homelite in Chainsaw my late dad and had Red one like this Saw for motor he bought used a Auction and did lots Firewood cutting with in 2000 to 2005 years ! Then got another good condition one of Yellow of Skil made around 1966 too 1976 built in Winnipeg Manitoba heard one that is 56 CC but not sure ! I still have it too and works super 👌!
As stated here many fire departments used this saw configuration as a roof ventilation saw. They "generically" were called a K12 saw. FDNY personnel simply called them a "power saw". Typically had a sling on them to carry to the roof. While we carried them for years, we basically abandoned them for saws having special "bullet" carbide chains. People often thought well, if FDNY uses it, must be the best. I had a conversation with a few FDNY brothers once and they said generally they fell years behind in adopting new technology. For example on PPE, fire gloves to be specific, they might purchase 20,000 pairs where a small department might buy 20 at a time. Although still constrained by money, small departments can adopt new technology much easier.

You are what they call a mechanical genius. I love watching you figure out things most of us would never even think to check. Bravo!
Somethin's leakin - happens when you get old! - No doubt! That humor and the excellent presentation are what makes Sunday's a great day!!
Oh yes and if you have a time when it's real bad it's so frustrating. Human or Engine
In a lot of ways, this is not only a restoration channel, but a history channel on top of that. I've seen and learned a lot about brands, designs, and concepts I probably never would have gleaned from anywhere else.

It’s pretty easy if you fiddle those things enough. If the carb is in good condition, by adjusting it the engine behave accordingly.

Priceless! 😂Thanks for this! 👍
Should nick name Mustie's saw "the gas-powered butter knife."
Leon’s Chainsaw Shop here on YT is the goto guy when it comes to vintage Homelite equipment. Parts/ info or whatever you need, he’s the man.

I was going to comment that my dad had a chainsaw that looked just like that. It was bought in 77.
I'm sure it's great for cutting a lot of rebar with an abrasive blade also, but it can wear out your back pretty quick
Another spectacular Sunday morning enjoying a Mustie1 video with Coffee and an eggs & sausage breakfast. Life is indeed good!
Thanks Darren for such a long video. I,v seen everyone you've put out,and I could watch you all day. I,ve learned so much! Stay healthy and happy !!!!!!!
Now I want a demolition saw! Merry Christmas Darren, and thanks for all the great content.
World's most dangerous, unsafe power tool! Love it. Always a stellar rustoration by Mustie1
Impressive diagnostics and repair, as always.
Great vid as always. Sunday and Mustie is a highlight of the week!
If I don't watch Mustie1 first thing in the morning the day doesn't feel right!
Great video! I love the old Homelite saws and, based on other comments here, you can see the relation to late 70’s chainsaws. They were tough as nails and highly reliable.
Worked at a junkyard for years. We used these saws to cut cars up. Clips, quarter panels, pillars, etc. Very effective
Sometimes if there is enough clearance I cut a soda can to make a sleeve for the crank seal. Awesome video ❤
There is also a product called Loctite Bearing Fit that might have worked.
Yes used the soda can trick a few time myself. Note how thin the cans are lately.
Great save. The vacuum pump will work once you undo the threaded connections and wrap all the threads with pipe / Teflon tape. I did this on a HF compressor and cut my leakage (stop it) /recycle time by 80%! Narragansett Bay
Wow!! That’s a hell of a good score!! They’re really rare in this good of condition!
Great to see it running again. That saw is a BEAST!
Wow, Great win. Thanks for all the explanations, it really helps understand whats going on.
The paper discs look very similar to the paper shims used on my table saw dado set.
This has been a lesson in perseverance and patience!!! And mechanical know how, of course, as well.
Very nicely done!
Wow...that thing can seriously cut wood :)
"Raspy". I think that was the word you were looking for to describe the sound of the
engine when it is running just rich enough to not burn a hole in the piston. 🙂🤩✌👍
there ya go
I love how you think out every process and get things running. I have never missed any of your videos. Keep up the awesome work. I look forward to your videos every week.
Thank you,

Hey Mustie1 I just made a new google account and I'm resubbing to my favorite youtube channels. you are definitely one of my treasured favorites. I've made a lot of money selling small engine equipment thanks to your teachings and entertainment :D
You found an oldem blade that can get the job done!😂❤The lead carpenter used to precut timbers : 1970's over in Connecticut.I was an apprentice then.
Thank you for putting oil in the cylinder before pulling it over!
Ah, the days before Torx was everywhere... :)
Thanks for the lesson working on two cycle engines.
Good afternoon mustie fan's from a very windy Peterborough England. Awesome bit of kit. ❤
Just a few sparks!!! That thing is a BEAST!!! Nice work!!!!

Looks like a c5 homelite chain saw.
Always learn a new trick watching this channel. I never would have thought of the rope trick.

I'm a retired Sheet Metal Worker and we would use a saw like that to cut roof decking for roof penetrations' those saws are expensive and great video
If it was me , all the pieces would be tossed into that nice box and I would trip over it for 5 years until I gave it away : ) I love how you just don't quit !
Nice work! My little Clinton Panther on my bike back in 65 had same problem with that seal! Love the fire works finale!❤
Urgent please read this.

I enjoyed this one. You really shined with your skills. Thanks.
I always used green loctite designed for permanent bearing fitment, it can fill a larger gap.
This is an awesome machine and we constantly learn from you thank you for sharing your knowledge with us six stars brother
Also check the play in the crank in the lower end of the crank
That is what the rescue squad used before the jaws of life came along. Nice job on the restoration.
Patients and perseverance. I'll have to watch the video again to see how many times he removed/replaced that carburetor. It was a struggle but the best man won! Good work Mustie1

Used to love these when I raced what we call BANGER RACING, in the UK, similar to demo derby but run on oval tracks of a quarter mile, of tarmac or hard packed "shale" we called them paddy saws, a joke for Irish folks but like everything else you can buy battery powered tools that do the same job. we used one for cutting away damaged bodywork on the saloon (sedan) cars we raced where contact was allowed no matter how hard you hit the other guys. loved that racing until the £££££s caught up with me after 14 happy years with many trophy's won.. thanks Darren.
Loved the carburetor repair!
I love your work Mustie1, whatever you work on, it is always interesting!
Mustie1, once again with ur Engineering work, u finally gotten the Demolition Saw working great. it sure did a job on the 2x2 have a couple of beers on me Mate..
Haven't watched through the whole vid or scanned the comments, but little no reaction on idle circuit is a usuall sign of bad crank seals. I will see your findings when as I continue through the vid. Thanks for sharing!
This content always cheers me up, keep slaying it!

Thank you for sharing.👍
Another Sunday morning with Mustie. That saw will cut through anything. Be careful 😂
A close friend had a stone quarry business, and had a saw just like this, I recognize those blades.
That's a Super XL chain saw in drag. They are virtually impossible to kill. I cut SO much wood with one. I rebuilt one on the feed table of a chipper with sockets and a screwdriver. So simple and reliable. BUT, they vibrate like crazy.
The tillotsen carb is fussy. You can tune them to run great wide open, but then they wont idle. You can tune them to idle and cut small stuff but it wont have the power at full throttle. I used to have two on the truck when I did tree work. One for limbing and one for cutting the butt.
have wonderful chrismas to you and your family , over the years i have saved o lot of cash watching and learning , look forward you doing ride on mowers again i have missed them , YOU NEVER STOP LEARNING , CAN GIVE I MERRY CHRISMAS TO ALL YOUR VIEWER , BIG ASK COULD YOU WISH " STEVE T " IN THE UK A THANKS FOR SUPPORTING YOUR CHANNEL HE HAS NEVER MISSED 1 VIDEO SINCE YOU STARTED , IN YOUR NEXT VIDEO PLEASE
When I was in the fire service, we had a Homelite saw like this. The blade had carbide tips. It was used to cut ventilation holes in roofs to allow heat and smoke out of the building during a fire. This saw would cut thru anything, wood, nails, roofing and gang plates on trusses.
Great job Mustie, that was mega 👍
Looks like the saw that the fire department uses. Great video.
Great job Darren works great…
Did you get that right out Roy and Johnny's truck from emergency you know what I'm talking about looks exactly from there great video

Then got another good condition one of Yellow of Skil made around 1966 too 1976 built in Winnipeg Manitoba heard one that is 56 CC but not sure ! I still have it too and works super 👌!
Nothing better than Mustie1 sundays. Great content as always.
Another great Vlog, that saw is a beast with either wood or metal.,love it, cheers from Downunder 🦘🦘🦘❤️🇦🇺
As stated here many fire departments used this saw configuration as a roof ventilation saw. They "generically" were called a K12 saw. FDNY personnel simply called them a "power saw". Typically had a sling on them to carry to the roof. While we carried them for years, we basically abandoned them for saws having special "bullet" carbide chains. People often thought well, if FDNY uses it, must be the best. I had a conversation with a few FDNY brothers once and they said generally they fell years behind in adopting new technology. For example on PPE, fire gloves to be specific, they might purchase 20,000 pairs where a small department might buy 20 at a time. Although still constrained by money, small departments can adopt new technology much easier.
i watch the old tv show Emergemcy all the time and thw k 12 was what i said it looked like.
